Kaz, in my experience when the vine isn’t ready it won’t hold any fruits no matter how well you hand pollinate them. Happened to me the first year. No fruits despite hand pollination. Then second year it worked totally fine
Janet, wow your fruits looks big already. I hope I get one flower to set fruit. I just pollinated 2 more today and I saw another 5 that might open by next week. When I looked at my flowers closer it looks like it doesn't have any pollen on the pedals so maybe that's my problem. It may need another year before my flowers have pollen. I just used my purple passion flower pollen since the PD didn't seem to have any in the flowers.
Yes, you may be correct about the cold temperature and no pollen. But my purple fruit passion (passiflora edulis) flowers seems to have no problem with lots of pollen and when I hand pollinated them last week the fruits set and it is doing well.
I have Hoang's passiflora decaisneana that I grew from cuttings this past winter ago.. It went crazy over the summer, got probably 100+ flowers.. Finally ripened a couple weeks ago.. The flowers look different than yours, maybe yours is a hybrid?
Here are a few pics of mine when it bloomed. I had posted pics of the blooms before , but they were with an stranje off colour to them from the pic, so posting those which are closer to the real deal. I still cant differenciate the flowers of quadrangularis, decaisneana and others that look close to those two. However now when i took a look of the flowers of my plant, the look kinda different to those of SC4001992, mine are not so wavy....Quote from: MisterPlantee on November 25, 2021, 10:11:02 AMI have Hoang's passiflora decaisneana that I grew from cuttings this past winter ago..

Was the rind edible ?
Plantinyum, take a look at the leaves of my vine, I see 3 pairs of glands (6 total) so does it mean my plant is a P. Quad?
